Answer:

y = 12x - 16

Where m = 12, and b = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

12x - y = 16

To write this in the form:

y = mx + b,

Add y to both sides of the equation:

12x - y + y = 16 + y

12x = 16 + y

Subtract 16 from both sides

12x - 16 = 16 + y - 16

12x - 16 = y

Therefore,

y = 12x - 16

This is in the form y = mx + b

Where m = 12, and b = -16
